The video for Taylor Swift ’s song Anti-Hero, the lead single from her new album Midnights , has been altered days after its initial release to remove the word “fat” from one of its scenes.

In the original clip, directed by Swift, the 32-year-old singer and songwriter steps on to a bathroom scale whose dial spins to the reading “Fat”.
